Welcome to my Audi Turbo 914 build thread! This first post has been highly edited for your(and my) ease of navigation.

The car 1973 Porsche 914 1.7 w/ appearance group package
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-172-1429499049.jpg)
`
The Story:
I purchased this car when I was 14years old and had bought 2 other 914s with it for a measly $1100, The other 2 914’s were basket cases and one had been in a roll over. The previous owner put the 2.0 from the roll over car in this car. I parted out the other two cars and DID A V8 CONVERSION on mine after I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the valves (It seemed easier..). I do a 5 lug conversion as well as put some fiberglass flares on the car and many other things before I decide to paint the car. That is the start of this thread.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1295463716.1.jpg)
`
Next I decide that I don’t like how the v8 drives and how I could never keep it cool so I decide to embark on a journey with an engine I was already more familiar with. The Audi 1.8T.
To start at the 1.8T engine conversion click below.

No pics, but I got side tracked many times during the day... 2 layers of primer and one tiny spot of old filler apparently didnt have enough hardner, sanded the whole area out and reapplied filler.

Got some 180 grit paper from the store, Its the paper stuff, but it works really good. I want to sand the car down again to make sure I have all the low spots filled before I primer seal it, but im pretty sure its all done.

Depending on how much time I have tomorrow, i'll finish the passenger side and commence work on the A pillar, targa bar, engine lid, and front trunk.

Nice progress Andyrew but no matter how nice you do the body work, and what color you paint it I will still have no idea how to instruct on an autocross course for a car possessed by the devil! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Im going to give it a throttle stop and retard the timing so it has less torque and only ~ 200 hp for a while. I want to give it a couple of autox's this season. Still have to dial in the suspension, no clue how my mixmatch of suspension stuff is going to come out like.

Advance it until it almost wont start. That will reduce low end torque and move the HP hogher in the rpm band. Don't be to worried about pre-ignition. A car this light will almost never make a V8 ping.

Awesome progress. Body work and paint is the thing that intimidates me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

FYI roll cages made of tape ARE inexpensive and crafty, but I have it on good word they won't pass a tech inspection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
